In a city like London, there isn't much for that demographic to do. Better that kind of place than getting into mischief.
This is indicative of a greater trend in London, which is unfortunate. There isn't much left for the older folks, whether it's movies or otherwise. Entertainment is more and more on TV and the Internet. There is that one indie theatre on Wharncliffe. But, as far as music goes, between the closing of the Wick, the Embassy, and now the APK, there's fewer and fewer venues. Even ten years ago London had a lot more true nightlife - you had those three venues, Call the Office, The Drink (and later DV8, now Cowboys), and I think a couple other places. Now the downtown is dominated by DJs spinning generic urban music at Jack's, Jim Bob's, London Tap House, and others. CTO is still there of course.
